'US should focus on morals, not on power politics'

Islamabad, Nov 9: After US President Barack Obama declared that the country would support India to gain permanent seat in United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Pakistan hit out at India by claiming that US should focus on morals not the power politics.

Stating on US' stand in the issue, a Pakistani official on Tuesday, Nov 9 claimed, "the US should focus on the morals instead of backing power politics in the region."

The official also claimed, "The expansionist designs of India in itself are contradictory to the charter of Security Council."

"India's aggression towards neighbouring countries and the violation of UN resolutions on Kashmir are a proof of the apprehensions of Pakistan," added the official.

The remarks from the Pakistani official came after Obama, during his India visit on Nov 8, stated, "US welcomes India as it prepares to take its seat at the UN Security Council."
